Balmy Days
Acrylic On Canvas – Pure and simple… no mixed media – I thought it was time to head back to basics, it iss afterall the new year, so a fresh start! I did this today, along with Dog Beach – they are for Ebay – what I call ‘money spinners’.
Enjoy.

I love this artwork. It brought me back to the fun time and memories of being in the sea in summer, spending time w my GF. I love the mood and simplicity of the image. Excellent colors and feel.
Carmen Cilliers
OH Eyal – I am so glad it brought back fond memories for you – mostly I strive to evoke feelings of fun, happiness and tranquility in my art, you make me feel I achieved this. Thank You!

This style of heavily cropped image always reminds me of photos where the ex has been cut off the picture. You have the negative space balanced well …next!

Carmen Cilliers
G’day everyone! Thank you for your comments. I am glad you like the painting. I tried to sell it on Ebay (for cheap, very cheap) and had no bites so I have been wondering…? Perhaps it’s too heavily cropped? Not sure. But thanks for ALL your comments!

What an absolutely beautiful and fun creation… it seems so simple in nature, yet wonderful detail and color. Great job.

Beautiful! Love the colors!

Beautiful colours and a great style of portrait work Carmen, love this whole series.

Incidentally, the cropping is perfect, I love the oddity of it. Your work lends itself much more to being used for licensing than simply selling it on Ebay! Certainly don’t sell cheap, you deserve more than that and you weaken it by making it cheap. Your work is good, believe in yourself. x
